Writing tip #1 - there is no such thing as writer's block (it is just procrastination in a disguise).

Writing tip #2 - write for 10 minutes about how you aren't able to find anything to write about. Set a timeer.

Writing tip #3 - get with a buddy. Set a time and see who can write the most words in a set amount of time (we call these word wars and word sprints depending on their length).

Writing tip #4 - answer a post on a forum. By the time you get to tip #4 you realize you've almost written a full blog post.

Writing tip #5 - just say NO - tell the editor that he/she is not allowed out of the bottle until AFTER the piece is complete. This frees you up to just write the words. Crafting comes later.

Writing tip #6 - change directions. If you are struggling to get through a work piece, write some poetry. If you are struggling to get through a fiction story, write come creative non-fiction. The change in genre or niche often serves as the same type of "breath of fresh air" that you might get on vacation.

Writing tip #7 - change locations. If you have a laptop, take it into another room or to a local coffee show - or to a park if the weather will play nice. If you don't have a laptop, go old school. Grab a pad and an pencil and head on out that door. A vacation from the "work spot" can help the words become natural again.

The most important thing you have to do is to write - not lots of words or for a long time - but one sentence can set the words free.
